Increasing gain does mean more sensitivity in the center. This comes at the expense of sensitivity in other directions. It's like squeezing a balloon.

Your summary of the question is exactly the point I was trying to make. You have all the data you need in your TVFool report to estimate the impact of narrower beamwidths (NM vs. azimuth.) Not nearly the trial-and-error you might think.
